Tonight in 1969 — THE LESLIE UGGAMS SHOW debuted on CBS.
The Tony-winning singer/actress was just 26 — but insisted on an integrated cast + crew for her weekly variety show.
"People got to see somebody who looked like them,” she said in 2016. "I think that’s a great legacy."

The 1967-68 UK TV series Man in a Suitcase takes the basic ITC action-adventure formula and adds a hardboiled flavour, real toughness, grittiness, plus seedy downmarket glamour. And more than a hint of film noir. The best of all the ITC series.

Peter Leslie’s The Cornish Pixie Affair, from 1967, the fifth original novel based on the TV spy series The Girl from UNCLE starts with a murder in a circus (a setting that is used extremely well). Statuettes of pixies play a role. Enjoyable.

Venus Smith, the forgotten Avengers girl. She was Steed's partner in six 1963 episodes. Fascinatingly different from the other Avengers girls. She had zero combat skills but she was a useful agent. And quite charming.

The Interrogators, a great 1969 Tara King episode of The Avengers, written by Richard Harris and Brian Clemens. Christopher Lee guest stars. Starts with a British agent being interrogated by the bad guys, then the twists begin.

W. Howard Baker’s Storm Over Rockall, the third of the six Danger Man TV tie-in novels. It's an original novel but with similarities to the TV episode Not So Jolly Roger. Someone is sabotaging a British rocket program. It could the Russians, or it could be the Americans.

Dracula (1968), a feature-length episode from Thames TV’s Mystery and Imagination gothic horror anthology series. A bizarre performance by Denholm Elliott as Dracula. The highlight is Susan George’s hyper-sexualised performance as Lucy Weston.
